Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 820: The Leaders Are Gone!

The undeniable fact that Jason had taken his brother's life ignited an unforgiving hatred within Stragga. For the preceding months, Stragga had dedicated himself to relentless training, ensuring his readiness to confront Jason upon his inevitable return. And now, Jason was indeed coming home! Stragga's grip tightened fiercely on the tablet he held, causing the device to fracture and crumble into fragments within his grasp! A searing heat radiated from Stragga's body, a palpable aura that even made Butler Vanta, standing several feet away, feel perspiration bead on his brow as the temperature in the room soared!

Stragga rose from his bed, addressing Vanta with a guttural tone. "Make ready the plane. Our destination is America."

Butler Vanta executed a respectful bow. "The private jet is fully fueled and prepared for immediate takeoff, Master Stragga. However, if I may be so bold, may I inquire about your intentions in America?"

Stragga moved towards a large wall within the room, actuating a concealed button beside a painting. The entire wall smoothly receded, unveiling a hidden alcove brimming with hundreds of assorted artifacts and contraptions! Arrayed therein were numerous high-tier magical artifacts, cores, and weaponry, all meticulously collected by Stragga from his expeditions into Yellow and Orange ranked gates over the years. Dominating the center of the display was a formidable claymore sword, its hilt adorned with a substantial, crimson magic stone. Stragga's gaze sharpened dangerously as he responded to his butler's query. "I intend to meet Jason Marc face-to-face and demand an explanation for why he deemed it necessary to murder my brother. Should his answer displease me, I will end his life."

Butler Vanta bowed once more, preparing to offer a wish of good fortune to his master. However, Vanta's eyes widened in astonishment as a colossal figure, bearing a massive sword strapped to his back, emerged abruptly from the surrounding shadows! The newcomer possessed peculiar scales on his cheeks, and his aura was so overpoweringly intense that Vanta found himself utterly speechless! Vanta could only watch, dumbfounded, as Stragga spun around in shock, instinctively preparing to unleash an attack! Flames erupted from Stragga's hand as he hurled it towards the intruder with a fierce cry, but the intruder, with surprising ease, caught Stragga's surging hand, immobilizing his assault! The intruder then seized Stragga by the shoulder, and together they dissolved into the ground, vanishing into the obscurity of the shadows!

An abrupt, profound silence descended upon the room, leaving Vanta in a state of sheer disbelief, struggling to comprehend the astonishing events that had just transpired!

....

[Tokyo, Japan]

Within the opulent personal estate of the Japanese Prime Minister, a woman attired in a traditional kimono moved with hurried steps down a magnificent corridor, clutching a crucial file. A look of palpable anxiety marked her features as she rushed towards the Prime Minister's chambers. Upon reaching the door, she promptly knelt and delivered a firm knock.

"Madam Prime Minister, an urgent dispatch awaits you. It pertains to the extraordinary individual known as Jason Marc, hailing from America... Madam Prime Minister?"

The woman waited with bated breath for a response, but the prolonged silence sent a jolt of unease through her. After a few minutes, she rose and offered a brief apology for the intrusion before cautiously opening the door! To her utter dismay, the room was empty! Her eyes widened in alarm as a single sheet of paper lay upon the table! The paper bore a few characters meticulously inscribed in Kanji, which the woman swiftly deciphered!

'I shall return her shortly.'

This brief message was all that remained. The woman immediately shrieked for the guards, the horrifying realization dawning upon her that the Prime Minister had been abducted!

....

"The head of the SMD is missing! Sound the immediate alert! Initiate a national lockdown!"

"The Enforcers report their head commander has also vanished!"

"What in blazes is happening!?"

"The American President is gone, and so is the director of the CIA!"

"The Russian president has also been taken!"

....

Identical scenes of chaos unfolded across the globe as numerous world leaders, instrumental in the governance of the planet's political, economic, and military structures, were inexplicably disappearing! No one could ascertain the cause, and not a single head of state or leader possessed the capability to resist as they were summarily removed from the security of their own residences! Presidents were spirited away from their offices! Guild leaders were spirited away from their personal quarters! Heads of state and dictators were snatched from the very heart of their fortified locations and heavily guarded bunkers, only to be transported to an undisclosed destination! Following each abduction, the sole remnant left by the perpetrator was a single, identical note:

'I shall return them shortly.'

Yet, the extreme panic and widespread hysteria that engulfed the world during that brief period would be etched in memory for centuries! Entire nations implemented lockdowns! News outlets disseminated reports of missing leaders, deploying the military onto the streets in a desperate search! Many countries initially suspected their adversaries were responsible for their leaders' disappearances. However, upon discovering that their enemies' leaders had also been abducted, they understood they faced a threat surpassing all their conflicts! It became evident that the perpetrator possessed the ability to breach the defenses of every major global state, circumventing all human and superhuman security details guarding heads of state, and spirited them away to an unknown destination! Though the abductor's identity remained a mystery, a significant number of high-ranking global officials found the simultaneous capture of numerous world leaders suspicious, coinciding with Jason Marc’s return to Earth. Many nations promptly shifted their gaze toward America, speculating if their president orchestrated the events!

To the shock of nations worldwide, it was revealed that not only the President of America but also the Secretary of War, the Director of the CIA, and the Overseer of the SMD had been taken! The American military apparatus was effectively paralyzed by this single decisive action! The world's major powers swiftly recognized the futility of intervening in this sudden abduction, leaving most with no recourse but to wait patiently, hoping for the safe return of their leaders!

....

[Scene: Jason and Gina]

Jason hummed contentedly as he observed his subordinates abducting all the prominent world leaders and transporting them to a secure facility. He was aware that his actions would trigger mass panic, but Jason genuinely did not care. He had already resolved to initiate his plan to elevate Earth's standing the moment he returned, and Jason understood that the crucial first step in this endeavor was to secure the cooperation of every world leader. Earth, in its current state, was far too vulnerable, and the divisions among its nations would only exacerbate existing problems! The world required a singular, guiding power to steer it in the correct direction. Despite his reluctance, Jason knew he had to step forward and shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding their world from any future eradication by approaching enemies!

"I truly missed this, my love."

Jason’s thoughts were interrupted by Gina’s voice, and he smiled as she nestled closer to him. The couple stood atop the tallest building in Riverdale, gazing out at the sprawling city below.
